The late 4 pm checkin and early 10am checkout is probably my only complaint. Beyond that, the property was great. Comfortable outside seating to relax. Room was similar to any hotel setup with a bit more kitchen available. The price was about 30-40 cheaper than the same surrounding traditional hotels. The location was perfect right by little Italy. Was bustling at night when I came back from the baseball game. Airport close and traffic but room did okay to muffle noise and offered ear plugs next to the bed. I’d for sure stay here again when looking for value without hassle.

For the most part, this hotel was a good choice. We were disappointed that the photos on the website DID NOT depict the actual amenities. We expected large common areas as depicted on the website. Unfortunately, those images are taken with a wide angle lens and the areas are not even a 10th the size that you think they are. The room we had was okay, it was very noisy (against the 5 freeway), too bright for quality sleep (even with the curtains closed), and the shower (ugh!) NO WATER PRESSURE!! Of all things, this is a must. The positive piece of this stay was the venue we were visiting was only 4 blocks away. We probably will not stay here again.

This location should not be called a hotel but rather a hostel. This is not a hotel, there is no staff around and the shared restrooms are inconvenient. It’s overall a nice space but not what was expected.

The Highly Upmarket "Hostel"

I needed a room for the night and this place didn't disappoint. I would consider it a highly upmarket hostel over being a hotel... And only because it does have a shared bathroom. Nonetheless, everything was clean, tidy and in good working order. The location is also great and a short walk from the Little Italy neighbourhood of San Diego.

As someone that travels often, worst stay ever

Not sure how this hotel has such high reviews. Our stay was horrible. To begin, getting in to every door you need a code for EACH door. There’s stairs at EVERY doorway, which makes it’s difficult to lug your bags in and open doors, as the doors are heavy. And doors open the opposite way, towards you, so it makes it even harder to carry bags in and open doors coming up the stairs. It’s near the airport, so you hear planes flying constantly ALL day and night. Walls are thin, so you can hear EVERYTHING your neighbor is doing. There’s no parking nearby, we had to park 2 blocks down and still pay for parking. Our AC/heater wasn’t working, the towel rack broke once setting the towel on it, the refrigerator was loud as heck, we had to unplug it, the counters were dusty, like they hadn’t been cleaned. Most rooms besides the suites are shared bathrooms. And the suites are downstairs in like some back alley. Would never stay here again or recommend. Specially for the price. We paid less to stay at a Hilton with actual people at the front desk and room service. P

Did not realize that our room came with a shared bathroom and the bathroom floor did not appear clean! The room was clean, though small and came with a fridge and coffee maker. No tea bags provided.
